Melissa Radomsky is no stranger to difficult decisions. A teacher at one of the TDSB’s Model Schools for Inner Cities a program created to support students in low-income communities Radomsky is now in her twenty-first year of teaching. Last year, she was diagnosed with a precancerous condition, but this year, despite her diagnosis and having asthma, Radomsky is teaching a class of twenty-five in person. “I love my job. I put off having a hysterectomy because I love my job,” Radomsky says, describing the aftermath of her diagnosis last year. When COVID-19 struck, she had to grapple with the prospect of losing that love. Ultimately, the uncertainty of virtual schooling and the lack of advance notice by the TDSB through no fault of its own, as the province rejected the board’s plans for return to school multiple times presented too grave a burden for Radomsky’s mental health.
